Canada U: I have zero 4U courses complete, but projected atleast 97%

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the eligibility criteria for university registration in Canada, specifically regarding the completion of 4U courses and the implications of having a high projected grade in a single advanced function course. Participants explore the requirements for applying to university programs and the potential for conditional acceptance based on future course completion.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant states they are currently taking an advanced function intro calc class and expects to achieve at least a 97% grade, questioning if this is sufficient for university registration without completing all required 4U courses.
  • Another participant notes that not everyone is familiar with the term "4U" and suggests that the specific program of interest may influence eligibility, indicating that some schools accept 4M courses as part of the required six courses.
  • A different participant confirms that having a total of six U or M courses qualifies one to apply for university, but highlights that many programs may specifically require U courses unless the applicant is pursuing arts.
  • One participant shares their personal experience of not having any U courses and inquires about the possibility of applying for conditional acceptance based on the completion of their current 4U math course with a high average.
  • Another participant advises contacting the university directly for detailed information regarding eligibility and application processes.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree that having a total of six U or M courses is necessary for university application, but there is no consensus on the specific requirements for different programs or the possibility of conditional acceptance.

Contextual Notes

There are limitations regarding the understanding of course classifications (4U vs. 4M) and the specific requirements of various university programs, which may vary by institution.

I'm taking advanced function intro calc class right now, and I'm going to get atleast a 97%.

I have no other 4U classes...can I still register for university this fall?


or do I need to complete all six first?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Note: Don't assume that everyone is from Ontario, people outside Ontario will have no idea what a "4U" course is.

What program are you trying to get into?

Most schools are okay with 4M (the mixed university / college preparation) courses, as long as you've got enough of those to make six you should be fine.
 
Yeah. As long as you have 6 U or M courses total, you would be eligible to apply for university. It is just that, most of the those program will probably require U courses unless you are going into arts or something.
 
I have no U courses at all. Back when I was in high school, we had OAC...but I never took those.I will have completed 1 4U math in two weeks. I was wondering since I am doing very well in it, if I can still apply on a conditional acceptance, that I finish the remaining 5 with a high average, before september.
 
That you probably have to contact the university for the detail.
Wish you luck =)
